About Christmas Day
A federal holiday and one of the most widely observed days of the year in the United States.
The date is fixed, so the weekday moves each year. A Saturday occurrence is observed on Friday 24 December and a Sunday occurrence on Monday 26 December — which is why some years show two adjacent marked days on the calendar.
How the date is set
Always 25 December. Because the date is fixed rather than pinned to a weekday, it lands on a different day each year. When it falls on a Saturday, federal offices close the Friday before; when it falls on a Sunday, they close the Monday after.
In 2027 this matters: the holiday itself is Saturday December 25, 2027, but the day federal offices are closed is Friday December 24, 2027. The observed date is the one that counts for deadlines and business-day math.
